Chapter 367 A Small Lesson for the Li Family
When Guo Yue saw Li Huaijin, her vision went black, and she had a bad feeling.
What exactly happened?
"Huaijin, what are you doing causing trouble at the old house so late at night?" Guo Yue was the first to reprimand Li Huaijin.
This was her way of asserting her authority as the matriarch of the household, something she had previously achieved by scolding and punishing Li Huaijin.
So many years have passed, and it's impossible to change anything now. Therefore, her subconscious action was to embarrass Li Huaijin.
But the Li Huaijin of today is no longer the child who could be slaughtered at will.
Now that he has all the power to back him up, no one can influence his decisions.
Li Huaijin remained seated on the sofa, not getting up at all, as if this wasn't the old house, but his own territory.
"Since you're awake, then... sit down, I have something to say."
There was a laptop on Li Huaijin's right. He turned it on and handed it to Guo Yue: "Take a look."
Guo Yue had no idea what Li Huaijin was up to.
But it's definitely not a good thing.
She looked at the contents of the computer screen, and her face instantly turned pale. All her investments had collapsed, and she had lost a fortune!
It's the middle of the night, how did Li Huaijin manage to do that?
She slammed the computer down and glared at her son with a vicious look: "What exactly are you trying to do? Every penny of the money I've made from these investments belongs to you. Why are you doing this?"
She likes money and status because they bring her physical and mental pleasure, but all the money she can't use will eventually belong to Li Huaijin!
What benefit would he gain from sabotaging these projects?!
Li Huaijin parted his thin lips slightly: "Don't be in such a hurry. You need to take the computer to your husband and have him take a good look, as well as the old man and the old lady. What you see is nothing compared to what you've seen before."
The best is yet to come, why rush to throw away your computer?
He wasn't satisfied that they hadn't seen the whole thing.
After a moment of stunned silence, Li Huaijin's father quickly picked up his laptop, looked at the contents, and became even angrier.
"Li Huaijin, what exactly do you want? Coming to our house in the middle of the night to cause trouble, just to show us this?"
Those were investments worth billions, and in one night, this little beast ruined them all.
This is all money!
Old Master Li frowned, clearly displeased: "Huaijin, everything in the Li family has been handed over to you. In the end, all the money we have will be yours. Why are you doing this? This is also in the Li family's best interests. Why don't you consider the family's interests?"
Li Huaijin shouldn't take the blame. He clearly cared a lot for the Li family. If he didn't care about the Li family, then... the entire Li family, including the company, would have to atone for You Ran's sins today.
"Isn't the Li Group doing just fine? You should be glad I showed mercy, otherwise... based on what Mrs. Li did today, even if the Li family lost hundreds of billions, it wouldn't be enough to quell my anger."
Guo Yue stared wide-eyed in disbelief. So he did all this just to vent his anger for Gu Youran?
She gave Gu Youran 500 million, so Li Huaijin is going to make her lose billions?
Damn it!
"You ruined all my investments just to get revenge for Gu Youran?"
"Otherwise what?"
Guo Yue was speechless after hearing those three words. She never dreamed that her son would be so ruthless, causing her such heavy losses.
Everyone in the old house was unhappy and very dissatisfied.
The old man was even more dissatisfied. He slammed his fist on the table in anger, his words full of threat: "Li Huaijin, aren't you afraid that I'll make things difficult for Gu Youran?"
"How can a rich girl who doesn't even belong to a wealthy family be worthy of being your wife? Your mother did nothing wrong; I benefited from it. Are you trying to lecture me?"
Li Huaijin hates it when people bring up his family background. In his opinion, he is the one who is not good enough for Gu Youran.
Although Gu Youran's parents were scoundrels, her best friend and brother were good people, so she remained optimistic and cheerful, always facing the sun.
She is the most wonderful person.
But... he isn't.
He was a man crawling in the shadows, without freedom, without a future, and without even thought.
He's tired of a future he can see the end of in a day.
Gu Youran entered his life, her soul intertwined with his, and she cared for him and protected him in some unintentional little things, giving him a tenderness he had never experienced before.
This is something no one can give you.
Li Huaijin's eyes were sharp, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Of course I won't do anything to you. I don't want to break the law. However... since you made my You Ran unhappy, you should pay some price."
What you see now is just interest.
Li Huaijin stood up and calmly straightened his suit: "It's getting late, you should get some rest."
He left as if nothing had happened.
He came only to give a warning.
A warning that caused them heavy losses.
This is the price they have to pay.
However, this is just the beginning.
**
Li Huaijin did not return to Gu Youran's house. Instead, he sat on a bench downstairs all night, seriously considering his relationship with Gu Youran.
He wanted to protect Gu Youran openly and honestly.
He didn't want to hear any more words from his friends or Gu Youran that they had no relationship.
However, he is currently in a state of chaos and has no way of giving Gu Youran a sufficient sense of security.
The next morning, Gu Youran didn't find Li Huaijin at home. For a moment, she felt uneasy.
This feeling is very unpleasant and needs to be broken.
She took a deep breath, washed up, and left to go to the company, only to run into Li Huaijin as soon as she got downstairs.
This made her even more suspicious, and she couldn't help but step forward: "Don't tell me you've been here all night?"
Li Huaijin gave a bitter smile, with a coquettish curve at the corner of his mouth: "Yes, Xiao Youran, I was worried that you were still angry, so you punished yourself outside."
Gu Youran: "......"
Do you think I believe that?
Although I don't believe his claim, the man in front of me must have been up all night.
"What's bothering you that makes you want to sit here and contemplate life?"
Gu Youran regained her enthusiastic and carefree demeanor. She decided to forget about the unpleasant or unhappy things for the time being. She didn't want to be surrounded by negative energy; she wanted to be optimistic and cheerful.
"I'm thinking about how to bring you home, how to take our status to the next level." Li Huaijin looked at her with a suave and slightly roguish air: "Little Youran, would you like to help me fulfill my wish?"
Gu Youran: "......"
She asked that question unnecessarily.
He had such a frivolous look on his face, it felt like he had come to life.
That's fine too.
However... not only was she in a bad mood yesterday, but Li Huaijin wasn't in a good mood either.
She thought about the company's affairs again, and it seemed there wasn't anything urgent to deal with recently, so she simply...
Gu Youran stood up instantly, looking like she had her back to her: "Come on, the photographer you booked hasn't done the shoot yet. We've already paid, so we can't let it go to waste."
Li Huaijin's eyes immediately lit up, and he looked at her with some surprise: "Really? Xiao Youran, you're not lying to me, are you?"
"Not going to film?" Gu Youran raised an eyebrow: "Alright then, I'm going to the company."
"No, no, no, I was wrong, I was wrong, please take pictures, I want to take pictures right now!"
Li Huaijin was overjoyed.
